⚠️ A gentle reminder to drivers using the roads across Hungerford Common!!
We have recently noticed an increase in the speed of vehicles travelling across the Common, particularly during busy school-run times.
The Common is used every day by pedestrians, children, cyclists, dog walkers and livestock, so please take extra care, remain alert and observe the posted speed limits.
We understand that mornings and afternoons can be busy, but slowing down could make an enormous difference to everyone’s safety.
Please help us keep the Common safe for all who use it.
Thank you for your care and consideration.

📜 Did you know?
Hungerford’s history as a market town stretches back almost 800 years.
During the reign of King Henry III in the 13th century, the people of Hungerford were granted the right to hold markets and fairs, along with the Assize of Bread and Ale—which helped regulate the quality and price of these everyday essentials.
These rights were later confirmed during the reigns of Edward I and Edward III, with grazing rights on the royal estate around the town also being added.
It’s wonderful to think that this market tradition remains an important part of Hungerford today—our market still runs every Wednesday, both indoors and outdoors!
Pop along and support our wonderful local traders. 🌙
